Gregory's Server@Delib SMTP also has these abilities -- I am asking about fediverse/activitypub. It is frustrating to say "has anyone done X with Y technology?" and to get responses that are "Z technology does this"

 @Delib I think it is fine for someone to use Mastodon to send any message that they would also feel comfortable sending over unencrypted email. For some people that is "basically nothing" and for some people that is "basically anything". @darius I do agree, if by 'fine' you mean people have the freedom to share personal information in those ways. But that's different than recommending it. Most mastodon-instance introductions I have read, explicitly warn users against sharing personal information in direct-messages (DM). #activitypub #xmpp #movim |
@darius fediverse/activitypub is currently being bridged to #xmpp/jabber (which is focused on the use-case you describe), including 'real' DM's, not just the kind transmitted and stored in open text as in mastodon. These efforts are very close to being ready for the public. My hunch is that Movim.eu might be the best first-use server for users to watch for a future gateway. BTW I would not recommend using mastodon for personal messages. #libervia
